Reverent and Responsible Landscape Photography With Karen Cooper

Episode 25: Today, I sit down with Vancouver-based landscape photographer, Karen Cooper, to chat about:

• How walking in nature as a form of physical therapy led her into nature photography
• The value of developing an intimate relationship with locations by revisiting them over and over again
• The vast landscape and diverse ecosystems in British Columbia
• Her decisions around opening her own fine art gallery
• How she uses her photography to inspire others to respect nature and appreciate it on a deeper level
• Her invention of Photolucents ® and other mediums and technologies as novel ways to showcase her images
• How she uses intuition and balance to find compositions
• Photography as a tool for creating change and as a way of healing
• Nature deficit disorder
• Responsibilities outdoor photographers have to nature
• Why she doesn’t share location information on social media
• And so much more!
